Generation of a TBX20 homozygous knockout stem cell line (WAe009-A-1E) by episomal vector-based CRISPR/Cas9 system
Summary
The T-box family transcription factor gene TBX20 plays a crucial role in cardiac development and function. TBX20 mutations are associated with congenital heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, and heart failure. To further study the role of TBX20 in human heart, here we generated a homozygous TBX20 knockout (TBX20-KO) human embryonic stem cell line using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. This TBX20-KO cell line maintains normal morphology, pluripotency, and karyotype, making it a valuable tool for investigating TBX20's role in cardiac biology. Copyright © 2024 The Authors.
